Hg for short ... Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool.

While not the most popular of DVCS options, I find it a lot more flexible than the GIT when it comes to cross OS support. All of the options such as TortoiseHg work transparently on windows as well as Linux and OSX. Something that can't be achieved with GIT, and since Hg will transparently work with GIT it is a lot more flexible.

Like GIT, Hg is essentially a command line tool, but is enhanced by the use of TortoiseHg

Works nicely with Eclipse via MercurialEclipse

The link to GIT is provided by githg 

Need to expand the notes on installing the various packages, but Mercurial and TortoiseHg are included in the SUSE13.1 repositories
